Legal Question in Consumer Law in Florida

Re: Car Purchasing

Depends on what your contract says. Probably not. Call and try to work it out by buying a different car and paying a little more if you really don't want the lemon. READ THE CONTRACT NEXT TIME.

If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further.

Once you sign the Contract and the dealership accepts it, you have a binding agreement. You might be able to negotiate with the dealership to purchase a different car which may be a smart thing for you, even if it costs you more money. If they refuse to cooperate, you may wish to speak with your local consumer advocate or Better Business Bureau and see if they can intervene on your behalf.
